Kung nasira po ang bahay ninyo, mayroon po silang pautang na kung saan makakautang po kayo ng hanggang P150,000 (Good news from Pag-IBIG fo those affected by typhoon Ompong. If your house was destroyed, you can avail of the loan amounting as much as P150,000),” Roque said during a Palace press briefing. “Ang kinakailangan lang pong dalhin sa Pag-IBIG ay larawan ng inyong bahay at iyong inyong titulo para ma-annotate iyong pagkakautang na hanggang P150,000. Wala na pong mga ibang mga requirements hihingiin ang Pag-IBIG at sila na rin po ang tutulong (You must submit to Pag-IBIG a photo of your house and title to annotate the P150,000. Pag-IBIG will not ask for other requirements and will instead help you),” he said. Apart from Pag-IBIG Fund, Roque said the state-run Social Security System (SSS) would also extend calamity loan assistance to its members affected by the typhoon. “In three weeks time magpapalabas po ang SSS ng P60 million pension loan para sa mga nabiktima sa Itogon at saka sa Naga. Napa-release na rin po nila ang P362 million calamity loan (In three weeks time, SSS will release P60 millions pension loan for victims in Itogon and Naga. Another P362 million would also be released for calamity loan),” he said. He said the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has proved P25,000 financial aid to families of those who died during the typhoon and the two landslides. He said the Office of the President also extended an additional P20,000 to the families of the victims. The powerful typhoon battered several provinces in Luzon last week, triggering floods and landslides that left dozens of people dead. The storm has also caused huge damage to agriculture and public infrastructure during its onslaught.
